A little balance would probably be helpful.

The $63,000 gained by the state's department of wildlife will go much further towards the enhancement of the species than 10 tags sold to "A-Okay Hunters" at the going rate, it seems requisite to give at least some credit where credit is due.

Personally, I always associate elk hunting with the expenditure of work, time, discomfort, AND a fair amount of money (not $63,000) so at first glimpse it does sound like this guy is gettingtoo much of a short cut, but you didn't really think the governors tag was going to go to Billy Bob did you?

What happened isn't that much different from "leach hunter" Billy Bob leaving work Friday, driving into the night, joining his buddies who have had the camp set up for a week and done the scouting.... Billy Bob goes out opening day, gets luckyand pops a monster bull based on his buddies allowing, and Billy Bobhas to be back to his job back in town on Monday. These types of guys are common andaren't really that much different from rich dude except they don't contribute anything.

Most folks who have been both rich and poor will tell you, rich is better. Money holds the ability to compress time and achieve the otherwise unachievable. On balance, I would encourage folks to be cautious ofpenis envy.
